Description
Corum Heritage Twenty Dollar U.S. 1888 Gold Coin American Double Eagle Signed.
It includes a leather strap with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. It has a pull-out winding crown set with an inverted diamond cabochon and a solid case back that is the "head" side of the coin (it's split down the middle to show both sides). The 36mm diameter round two-body solid case, curved lugs with coin-edge sides and raised hobnail minute/hour scale with hour indices, are polished/brushed. The dial is the verso of the coin with the eagle and "CORUM" printed in black at the 9 o'clock position. It has black varnished baton hour and minute hands.
The Corum $20 Dollar US Coin 1888 Double Eagle special timepieces were introduced in 1964 by watchmaker René Bannwart, who founded the company in 1955. This watch is often called the "Presidential Watch," whose wearers included Presidents Johnson, Nixon, Carter, Reagan (who wore his on the cover of Time Magazine), Bush and Clinton, as well as artist Andy Warhol.
